can you manual focus while shooting video

sorry, I wouldn't know-the mode selection dial was broken when I got it-therefore it only works on auto (still)

That's a good question, I wish I had a good answer for you. I don't have need to use the video portion of the camera as I have a video camera and any video I take is done on it. Obviously, I'll say to check your owners manual to find out. I cannot find me owners manual so look on-line for it. Search for the "owners manual, Kodak Z712 IS 7.1 MP". There is a manual available. I've searched and found it before.

You can run the lens out whilst shooting video, so zooming isn't a problem. The only downside is the sound of the lens coming out is picked up by the microphone.

Yes, there's a manual exposure mode and the lens has a switch to turn auto-focus on or off.

It requires an electronic connection to the camera to focus, yes. The manual focus is focus by wire, and not a physical focusing mechanism unfortunately.

No. Auto focus cant work because u must put camera mode to manual , the "lens" is the scope, you must focus with the scope. Be sure to realize a collimation process to your scope , if needed, to get better results, better pictures.

Yes but you need an adaptor and they will be manual focus. There are lots of options for adaptors.

Yes. This camera can switch to manual focus and manual zoom and it is very easy to operate both in manual mode. The focus is easy due to the dedicatd ring and also focus peaking. The manual zoom works great when shooting sports and you need to manually zoom fast or slow. I think it displays date and time but I'm not sure as I have not tried that.

I set the flash on manual mode. Is that what you are asking, if not please clarify question.

It has a setting for manual or auto-focus on the side. I love the camera and kit. Great value!

It can auto focus at one point before recording as long as you use AF lens, but you have to manually focus after.

I'm not sure. It may not auto focus, so you'd have to rely on manual focus.

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

No, it's manual focus. It is very sharp a great close up. It also has a spot for a tripod. We'll worth the money

No. You have to use the manual focus. I do not think this is an issue because the NEX has focus peaking where it highlights the areas that are in focus.

There isn't "manual" focus like you have with an SLR or a DSLR lens. The method described on page 106 of the manual used to be called pre-focusing which also works with AF SLR/DSLR lenses. This method will only work before you start recording in video mode.

A note on the manual video functionality - The camera only has full manual exposure lockdown when the mode dial is set to Video and the shooting mode is set to M in the video menu. If you are in any of the other positions of the mode dial and press the red video button to start a video recording, the camera will automatically set ISO to AUTO, effectively disabling manual exposure for video recording, even if you have the camera set to full manual everything, including ISO.

nope, nope, nope. You can use an autofocus lens on it....so long as you manually focus the lens.

I have never tried doing that while taking video. But very pleased with camera!
